Monoxide Suicide
Case Is Revealed
Matt Mous Body Found in

tioned in .a casual conversation
with him recently that death by
carbon monoxide poisoning was
"an easy way to go."
Mrs. Mous told police her hus
band left home about 1 p. m.
Thursday to go downtown and
did not return as usual about 4

Salem History Is
Recounted, Forum
Last Lecture of Series Is
Presented by Dr. Barker;
Hendricks Presides
Beginnings of Salem, its schools
and of Oregon's government were
traced in an address by Dr. Burt
Brown Barker, former Salem pio
neer and now vice president of
the University of Oregon, at the
final Centennial forum at Waller
hall yesterday afternoon. R. J.
Hendricks, Oregon historian, pre
sided. The first school, said Dr. Bar
ker, was one fcr Indians at the
Methodist mission near Wheat
land. This school was removed
in 1842 to approximately the
sight of the gymnasium on . the
Willamette university campus, In
new building, and conducted
for a short time as a manual la
bor school for Indians only.
What was to become Oregon
institute, forerunnner of Willam
ette university, was first estab
lished on Wallace prairie after
the missionaries had dug deep
into' their pockets to subscribe
13970 for the jyroject. Dr. Barker
recalled. After the Indian school
was closed, the backers of the in
stitute sold their Wallace Prairie
school building for $3000 and pur
chased the labor school structure
for $4000, giving a note for
$1000. School for white children
opened at the new location In the
fall of 1844 with Mrs. Chloe Will
con as one of the first teachers.
Dr. Barker traced back to 1836
the first effort, by Rev. Jason
Lee, to have Oregon made a Unit
ed Stares territory.

Hiram Johnson Is
Held Reactionary
FDR Whom He Backed in
'32 Says so; Wheeler
of Different Mind
WASHINGTON, Aug.
Presldent Roosevelt let it be
known todsy that he thought Sen
ator Hiram Johnson had changed
a lot since the veteran Califor
nia republican sut ported him In
1932 and now could not be con
sidered a liberal or progressive
democrat.
The president was told at a
press conference that Johnson
was running for renominatlon on
the democratic, republican and
progressive tickets and then was
asked if he regarded the Califor
nian as a democrat.
Mr. Roosevelt said no, that he
didn't think anyone thought of
Johnson as a liberal or progressive
democrat In the year 1940 and
that while he was still very fond
of the senator he thought John
son had changed a lot In the last
four or five years.
There was no immediate reply
from Johnson who was away from
his office for the afternoon and,
aides said, unaware of the presi
dent's statement.
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont)
quickly differed with the presi
dent. "I consider Hiram Johnson one
of the great liberals of the coun
try," Wheeler said. "His speech
in 1932 did more to help Presi
dent Roosevelt carry the western
states than anything that hap
pened during the campaign."
Members of the California con
gressional delegation; among
them Rep. Carter (republican)
said there was nothing unusual
In Johnson's procedure, that Cali
fornia laws permit filing of candi
dacy in other parties if a small
number of signatures about -40
is obtained. Carter asserted that
Lieut." Governor Ellis Patterson,
who seeks election to the senate
as a democrat, also had filed on
the republican ticket.
The 73-year-old Johnson was
elected to the senate in 191$ and
has served continuously since
then. He has bolted the republican
party twice in the 1912 Bull
Moose movement to become the
running mate of Theodore Roose
velt and again in 1932 to support
the candidacy of the second Roo
sevelt. Travel Modes of

sory service, is beyond my under
standlng.'.' . . ;
Meanwhile, the taxation sub
committee of the house ways and
means .committee was taking ac
tion to remove what many have
called an important obstacle to
the production of defense items.
It drafted legislation to permit
firms which expand their plants
for the production of defense or
ders to deduct from their taxable
earnings 20 per cent of the ex
pansion cost annually for five
years.
Then, the subcommittee went
on to the question of repealing
present limitations on the profits
which manufacturers derive from
naval and aircraft contracts and
of substituting an excess profits
tax. Administration officials said
the aim of the latter tax was to
prevent undue enrichment of any
one as a result of the defense
program.
The senate military committee
was busy, too, polishing the con
scription bill for a final vote
scheduled for early next week.
After hearing, the testimony of
war department officials, it re
jected an amendment to limit the
number of men who might be
called up to 900,000, and another,
under which voluntary one-year
enlistments would be tried for a
90-day period to see if the army's
personnel needs could be satisfied
without compulsory service.
As the measure stood, it would
require all men 21 to 30 years
old, inclusive some 12,000.000
in all to register for the draft,
with exemptions for those with
dependents to support. It also
would permit supplemental vol
untary one-year enlistments for
all between 18 and 35.
The coincidence of the state
ments by the president and by
Woodring attracted much atten
tion in Washington. The latter
had served as secretary of war
until less than two months ago.
Then he resigned to make way
for his republican successor. Col.
Henry L. Stlmson.
With the Increasing acuteness
of the conscription controversy,
demands had been made in re
cent days for a statement from
the president of the legislation
before the senate committee. He
had previously declared himself
for compulsory service In prin
ciple, but declined to be drawn
into a discussion of details of
particular legislation. He followed
the same course today, but the
circumstances and the direct
quotation gave his statement add
ed point.
Elaborating his views, Mr.
Roosevelt said that in 1917, the
nation built up an army of 4,
000,000 men, but It was 13
months later that they went into
action. During that period, no
shot was fired at this country
over here, he added, but that was
a bit of sheer luck which would
never happen again.
The lesson to be learned from
the present war, Mr. Roosevelt
said, was that a nation must have
trained men and equipment ready
when it starts. The personnel, he
said, must Include fighting men,
supply men, mechanics, and fac
tory workers, all of whom would
require, training whether they
were in uniform or not. By train
ing in advance, a nation reduced
casualties, he continued, and a
country can not get a trained
force by merely passing a law
when war breaks out, or by using
a voluntary system.

and five nights until he reached
safety In the United States.
Walther Kurt Reich, 23. sur
vivor ot a sunken submarine and
first German war prisoner known -to
have escaped to this country,
credited .his expert swimming
ability he was In the cold wster
two hours and knowledge of
geography for carrying him -.to a -haven
here., .
United States immigration of
ficers found him and took him
into custody near Crelghton lake
in Maine.
' Under international law. a pris
oner escaping to a neutral nation

to deal with the Immigration au

months in a British prison camp
at Manchester, Eng.. before he
was loaded with other German
prisoners on a ship - bound, for
Canada.
He could tell by the sun. he
said, that the ship's course was
westward and he bided his time
until "we could see land in the
distance.
"Then, that night, when it was
dark. I wriggled through a port
hole, he" continued- "I did it
alone, with no help or connivance.
It was a tight fit going through,
but I wore only short, thin pants,
and on my feet sneakers.
"I went through head first;
that was the worst, for when my
head was through, 1 could not
know If some guard was seeing,
my feet and coming to stop me.
"It was : not far to the water,
for we were kept always below
decks as prisoners. Yah, that
ter was cold in the St. Lawrence
river. '
"I think it was about two hours
swimming before I reached land.
It was woodland and I quickly
hid myself and waited through the'
day to take my bearings as best I
could by the sun." . ' V
